The Winner

Dan Ryan and Fritz Noodle, two would-be politicians, succumb to the charming mannerisms of the Widow Guggenheimer. The widow is undecided which one she shall select for a husband, but finally tells them she will marry the one who wins the election, the office to be that of Chicken Coop Inspector. There is much surprise and humiliation on the parts of the candidates when neither is elected. The widow solves the problem, "I will marry the man who is the best wrestler; arrange for a bout and I shall be the prize for the winner." The match is fought and Ryan is the victor. He is about to claim the widow for his own, when the real husband, supposedly dead, returns and ousts him, a knockout finish to Ryan, who had nearly been killed in the wrestling match to win the widow. A sad fate for one who had worked so hard for a prize.
